CARL HOLMCRANS, OF DORCHESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.

SHUTTER-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 716,636, dated December 23, 1902.

Application filed April 29, 1902. Serial No. 105,139. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL HOLMCRANS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dorchester, in the county of Suifolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shutter-Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to shutter-holders; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan View of the shutter-holder, showing it applied to the shutters. Fig. 2 is a front view of the shutter-holder.

A A are shutters of any approved construction hinged to the side portions of a windowframe.

Brepresents two similar rods or bars. Each rod B has an eye b at one end and a hook c at the other end. The hooks c are dropped into engagement with sockets O, secured to the shutters A.

D is a handle provided with a screw-threaded pin (Z, which is passed upwardly through the eyes I) of the two rods.

E is athumb-nut screwed on the upper part of the pin d.

The shutters are set at any desired angle, the two rods being moved pivotally with the shutters. The thumb-nut is then screwed up so as to clamp the rods, the handle being held with one hand so as to prevent the pin from revolving while the rods are being clamped in position.

What I claim is- 1. In a shutter holder, the combination, with sockets secured to the shutters, of apair of rods having hooks at one end for engaging with the said sockets and having eyes at the other end, and a clamping-pin engaging with the said eyes, substantially as set forth.

2. In a shutter-holder, the combination, with a pair of rods having eyes at one end, and means for connecting the other ends of the said rods to the shutters; of a screwthreaded pin passing through the said eyes and having a handle at one end, and a thumbnut screwed on the said pin and clamping the said rods together, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

CARL HOLMORANS.
